Re: Cannon Chester10545G lower oven not lighting properly

Sorry, no offence intended, but there are unfortunately a lot of unscrupulous people around.
Maybe I should have chosen my words more carefully, but they are in their 70’s and have been caught out before.
In this instance they have been quoted £150+vat for the part (over the phone without even seeing the cooker) and £80 call out plus £80 per hour plus any other parts required.
so that’s a minimum of £260, which is already the cost of a new cooker.
Hopefully you’ll forgive me for being a little suspicious, hence me coming on this forum due to it’s members being decent, honest people.
If the price they’ve been quoted is correct, I think I’ll still get them a new one, as it’s already 10 years old, and not cost effective in my opinion.

Hi,
I replaced the element, and now our cooker cooks,

HOWEVER,

a word of warning to anybody doing this job!

I had to remove the cover on the back because the wires pulled through after I removed the broken element, I pushed the wires back through to the oven no problem, but as I pulled my hand out I brushed the edge of the casing and cut my knuckle down to the bone.
The sides of the casing and covers are like razor blades.
Please be aware of this when removing any covers, or putting your hands in the casing.
This may be unique to Sarena, but somehow I doubt it. If it saves anybody else from gashing their hands open then it was well worth mentioning.

Thank you Specialist01269 for your help.

Cheers guys, catch you next time

Hi,
I’ve removed the element,
It has gone, so should be a simple replacement.
I tested the wrong part at first, I removed the back of the oven and saw 2 prongs sticking out of the back at the top and assumed that was the element, but thought I’d better double check and noticed when I looked from the inside that the element sits lower down.

Cheers

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF92P Fridge Section Warm !! HELP !!

Just out of curiosity, any idea why the fridge section wouldn’t have cooled when the fan was running though?

If you think this will solve the problem though, I’ll be happy to order them tonight

cheers

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF92P Fridge Section Warm !! HELP !!

I have defrosted the freezer today, there was quite a lot of ice buildup.
After switching back on, the freezer is working but the display now constantly reads E2

Re: Hotpoint Mistral FF92P Fridge Section Warm !! HELP !!

Also, I’ve just taken the light unit off and the flap appears to be about 1/2″ open, but didn’t move when I powered back up and pressed the door switch.
One thing I did forget to mention was, when you close the fridge door after having it open for a while, it makes a noise like a french horn for about 20 seconds

Cheers

Ade
